Impatience is growing with the Iraq war and its $8 BILLION monthly tab

now, THAT is a figure to truly boggle the mind... but, get this...

Bush said the United States expects countries that have promised $13 billion in financial assistance to make good on their pledges.

well, DAMN, sam...! $13B in PLEDGES...! and how were those raised, the coalition-of-the-willing telethon...? besides, even if all those pledges paid up, why we'd be a WHOPPING MONTH AND A HALF to the good...

"I keep reminding the American people that the stakes are worth it," Bush said.

you can remind me all you want, you asshole... i still see a mess in new orleans, i see an embarrassing number of my fellow americans (myself included) without health insurance, i see thousands of iraqis dying each month, i see americans continuing to die in iraq, and i see you, you jerk, continuing to lie through your teeth...

here's the article's opening paragraph...

President Bush began a two-day strategy session on Iraq at Camp David on Monday, saying Iraq's neighbors should be doing more to help and suggesting the nation's vast supply of oil could be a way of reuniting the country.

this is the article's headline...

Bush reviews Iraq plan, says oil is key

nowhere in the article does oil get mentioned again... any guesses as to just what the hell he's talking about...?
